Cross Dissolve – by walking forward or backward to the screen the photography of the past dissolves into the one from the present and viceversa. For every picture there is a sound of the nature whose intensity changes depending on the spectator position.
Sliding Door – by walking left or right the viewer moves a vertical bar that divide the screen in two parts one reproducing the past and the other the present in a perfect alignment. For every picture there is a sound of the nature whose intensity changes depending on the spectator position.
Windows – by walking forward or backward to the screen a window opens on the image of the past showing the corresponding image from the present.
Multi-user (Optional): more windows can be opened at the same time allowing the interaction of multiple viewers (up to six) at the same time.
About the project
“On the Trails of the Glaciers” is an interdisciplinary project of Macromicro, a no profit Association. The project, thanks to specialized photographers and a unique international Scientific Committee, conjugates photographic comparison and scientific research to analyze the effects of climate change on the biggest mountain glaciers of the Earth.
Glaciers are indeed the most sensitive and reliable climatic indicators, which allow the study of the current climatic situation and of its evolution through the time. Analyzing the glaciers is somehow like opening a database, a natural archive, which describes past and present history of our living environment.
